Content Creation In Social Media And New Media Ecology

Social media is a network that is nourished by the content produced by its users. On social media platforms where what users share is the commodity, users decide which content should be in circulation. Users on social media websites can create the sort of content they wish to create and they can share these contents with the users they seem appropriate. It is also possible to tag the content, videos, photographs, and to make statements on various topics (Aytekin, Demir & Mutlu, 2015: 93). According to Güngör, text-based, verbal, visual, and auditory communication channels are used together in this new media environment, and all communication types (official, non-official, hierarchical, egalitarian, etc.) were mixed up (2018: 397-398). Keeping in mind that these new communication techniques change the face of our world substantially, our connection to the touch-screen and digital world increases day-by-day (van Dijk, 2018: 251).
